“I don’t want that generic pop record that Ke$ha, Katy or Lady Gaga could do,” Rihanna said. She wants her fifth album, Loud, to have its own vibe. But as talented as Rihanna is, it’s NOT a good idea for her to speak badly about other singers (and friends) who are arguably way more successful than her.

It may have just been a case of Rihanna’s mouth working before her brain had a chance to catch up. Either way, we want to know — how should Katy react to this verbal smack down? Should she forgive and forget, or is their friendship finished?
